Come and join Permaculture@USP’s inaugural symposium, “SustaiNIBBLES”. The objective of the event is to educate participants about sustainable food production in Singapore, encourage awareness and a sustainable mindset and teach participants how to start a small garden in their homes. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from local niche food producers and experts (among which is Prof Maharaj Pandit, our Ngee Ann Kongsi Distinguished Visiting Professor) who are challenging the notions of sustainable food production and inspiring the next green wave of Singapore food entrepreneurs. There will also be a microgreens workshop for all participants to learn how to produce nutritious food. This event is open to NUS students, staff and public.

Interested students and staff, sign up HERE.

Permaculture@USP was started by USP alum Alexius Yeo (Geography + USP, Class of 2010) in 2017.

Organised by the University Scholars Club (USC), the Inter-House Games 2019 will run two activities concurrently – the Vertical Relay and CTPH Games (Chess, Super Smash Bros and Overcooked). Join for a night of fun with your friends and win attractive prizes! Light refreshments and drinks will be provided for all participants.

The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) Centre is organising a LaTeX workshop. LaTeX (pronounced lah-TECK) is a document writing system widely adopted in many academic fields, to deliver high quality and professional documents in both the sciences and the humanities. Conducted by QR Assistant Lee Ning Yuan, participants will be taken through the basics and other useful techniques to get them immediately started on using LaTeX in their work.

ISMs are independent research opportunities to explore a specialised area of interest and an academic requirement for all USP students. Some USP students who have done their ISMs will be sharing their personal experiences and providing practical advice for those who are embarking on an ISM in the form of “Human Library” activity – where a “book” (speaker) and several “readers” (participants) are grouped together, and the former shares information with the latter on a particular topic. Do come and hear what these seniors have to say about the ISM experience!
